The criteria of representational v. non‐representational art were used to construct a scale of aesthetic preference which was found to be consistent and reliable. By the use of this scale, two groups of subjects were obtained: S N who showed preference for non‐representational art, and S R who showed preference for representational art. S N showed higher mean scores than S R on the three scales of the 16 PF (dominance, dependent character, conservatism) and on the scale of globalism of approach. The socio‐cultural background of the S N 's family was found to be significantly lower than that of S R .
